About Us
Look inside Mindset Cyber
Mindset Cyber started with a simple idea: make information security and compliance less complicated and far more useful for busy Australian businesses. After 20+ years across MSPs, enterprise IT, and compliance-heavy industries, we’ve seen how governance, risk, and compliance can either fuel growth or freeze momentum.
We’re passionate about teaching MSPs and SMBs how to apply ISO 27001, ISO 42001, ISO 31000, and Essential Eight in ways that actually stick.
Who you’re meeting
Educators who love turning standards into action
Mindset Cyber stays intentionally small so you work directly with engineers-turned-educators. We love helping MSPs and SMBs translate ISO 27001 and Essential Eight requirements into clear learning plans and adoption roadmaps. The person you meet is the same person building course content, templates, and walkthroughs.
Educator mindset
We teach with clarity and empathy so MSPs and SMBs can apply standards without drowning in jargon.
Operator empathy
We understand MSP cadences and internal delivery pressures, so compliance work fits around live customer commitments.
Credentials & memberships
Our origin
Mindset Cyber began because we were tired of watching SMBs and MSPs drown in complicated frameworks. Compliance shouldn’t be a tax—it should be a growth lever. We channel decades of MSP and enterprise experience into clear teaching moments that cut through noise.
Our purpose
We’re here to prove cybersecurity can create trust, reduce risk, and unlock new opportunities. By translating ISO 27001, Essential Eight, SMB1001, and ISO 42001 into plain language, we help Australian MSPs and SMBs learn and operate with confidence.
“It’s all about the mindset. When you approach cybersecurity as an opportunity instead of a chore, everything changes. You’re not just checking boxes—you’re building a stronger, smarter business ready for whatever comes next.”
Clinton McKillop · Founder, Mindset Cyber
